Oh they make me emotional
so very hormonal
Experienced moms had warned –
It’s a tall task to raise “mini-me(s)”
I shrugged, saying, how bad can it be.
Boy oh boy, was I wrong about this lawless foray
Never mind the number
I feel outnumber every step of the way
Things like logic and reasoning
are not anymore my friends
maybe because my kids don’t listen
it’s like I am talking alien
Blame it on exhaustion or even insomnia
or to just the nature of this job,
the relentless worrying about them knows no bounds
My calendar is taken over by soccer, t-ball, swimming and gymnastics
screaming stop, when I add two sets of play dates
The stresses at work now seem a piece of cake
hard to recognize the career woman in my new make
The perplexity of it all –
I am warning you so don’t laugh.
Even after all the craziness I just confessed
I call myself AMAZINGLY blessed.
In response to Word Of The Day, EMOTIONAL
Curating Thoughts 
Betu,
You are just amazing. Continue writing.
Love & blessings.

And as my First born ( and the only one) got over the petrifying stage of insecurities that boggled this Mom
What if he’s crushed by the heavy overflowing breasts/ tumbles off the bed/crawls down the stairs/walks out of the door left ajar by some foolish insensitive fool
What if & What if followed by so many What ifs
With bated breath I waited for the School Days
But lo n behold the What ifs grew
And I waited for College
The What IFS Grew bigger
Now on the threshold of marriage as he stands poised to step into his own Venn
Diagram
The Mom whispers
WHAT IF
And walking the path of this Overflowing Plate
Like my own little Gudo
I too
Call myself “AMAZINGLY” Blessed
